Emulator

Ugh this is hard to reproduce, and i accidentally overwrote the savestate that did that
:/

I've heard of this happening before, ideally we could (like pcsx2) eject the memcard
before a savestate, and reload the memcard after a savestate

I know this happens in GT4 in PCSX2, could also happen here.

Issue 1235 has been merged into this issue.

Xtra, new findings on this.

Check issue 1229.

Not sure if this helps, but if I load a game in ZWW and save, it's fine. If I save
using a save state, then immediately afterward try and save through the memory card,
it says corrupt. I don't necessarily have to load the save state for the error to
show up.

llsbac...@hotmail.com: that is due to r3999 which I will be reverting

This is not fixed completely.... I still get this problem with Metroid Prime 2 (NTSC if that matters at all)

I'll save the state at a point to try and do a trick/sequence breaking glitch in the game (some of them are really tricky, so save states really help.) and then load it many times until I get the trick right or past that part or whatever, I then get to a save room and go to save and it says it can't find the memory card in slot a.

This is fixed by simply saving it right there using a save slot in dolphin, closing dolphin, re-opening and open the game, then load the save slot, and save normally... it's like it just loses the memory card info somehow when doing multiple save/loads...

does it actually corrupt the memcard for you? What if you manually eject/insert the memcard while the game is running? You could also manually eject the memcard before saving state, then insert it after loading state.

No, the memory card is fine, and I can save data to it like normal if I do what I said above, and all the other data is still there... It's just like it doesn't know where the memory card is anymore, as if you were playing the game on the real GC and pulled the memory card out in the middle of playing and then tried to save... I have not tried the eject/insert, I'll try that tonight.
